An ear splitting roar sounded through the air as a black shadow covered the clearing in a blanket of darkness.
Nobody saw it coming...
Small and helpless figures whimpered and cowered in buildings of stone, fear and anticipation heavy in the air.
They were unprepared...
The occasional cry echoed throughout civilisation, stirring up panic and despair in families.
Nobody was safe...
Warriors tightened their grips on their bows as adrenaline attacked their hearts, rushing through their veins.
They knew what was approaching...
Groups of scattered bowmen remained as the only defence against the merciless creature.
The odds weren't in their favour...
Their quills were emptying at an alarming rate and dread had found a special place in their minds, clouding their thoughts.
Hope was lost...
Houses shone and burnt like torches, smoke rising and drifting across the horizon.
Soldiers fell one by one to the on coming darkness...
Claws flashing and teeth baring, the village gradually fell under the the enemy's wrath.
Their energy spent and their faith crushed, the sky seemed to come crashing down on them.
Nothing would ever be the same again...
